Apstrakt

Predmet ovog istraživanja je roman Momo (1973) Mihaela Endea, odnosno glavni lik za kojeg se smatra da je primer arhetipa božanskog deteta. U ovom radu biće razmotreno da li lik devojčice Momo zaista odgovara ovom arhetipu, kao i da li je moguće uočiti odlike najrasprostranjenijeg književnog arhetipa – arthetipa junaka. Iako Momo po svom izgledu i osobinama podseća na druge primere božanskog deteta iz književnosti, nezaobilazna je činjenica da se za njen lik vezuju motivi poput odlaska od kuće i borbe protiv zla, motivi koji odgovaraju arhetipu junaka. Polazeći od stava Kristofera Voglera (Christopher Vogler) da su književni arhetipovi funkcije koje likovi zauzimaju, a ne nepromenljive odrednice, u ovom radu je analizirano kako Momo prelazi iz arhetipa božanskog deteta u arhetip junaka, kao i kako je, uprkos odlikama i božanskog deteta i junaka, nekarakterističan primer za oba arhetipa.
